FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Alexandria, VA?
Yes. Any deck attached to the home or over 30 inches above grade requires a permit in Alexandria. We handle all permit applications and inspections.
What's the difference between composite and wood decking?
Composite decking (like Trex) costs more upfront but requires almost no maintenance — no staining or sealing. Pressure-treated wood costs less initially but requires annual or biannual maintenance.
How long does deck construction take?
Most decks take 1–3 weeks from permit approval to completion. Complex designs with pergolas or multiple levels may take longer.
Can you repair or rebuild my existing deck?
Yes. We assess existing decks for structural integrity and can repair, refinish, replace decking boards, or fully rebuild based on the assessment.
What size deck can I build on my property?
Setback requirements vary by lot and zoning. We research your property's zoning requirements as part of our pre-permit process and advise on maximum allowable size.
